If you are a Windows user and have opted to receive updates for other applications besides Windows, you should be offered the download next time Windows Update runs.

This functionality was originally included as Photomontage in Expression Design and then taken for some reason. However, it seems more suitable to be a tool in Expression Media under the Make Menu. I know this feature is now included in Live PhotoGallery, but it is awkward to have to keep two catlogs just to stitch photos together - not exactly a smooth workflow if you need to do that alot but want to work in the Expression Suite. It seems odd to include Photomontage free in one program, but not in Expression Media which one pays for! It does bother me that I pay for a program that has fewer advanced features than a free one (I think the people spending money on the Expression Suite should at least have every feature in the free lower end PhotoGallery program). It would be nice if this feature is present in the next service pack or better yet was made avialble sooner as an add-on, much like the PDF compiler in the new Word program. It would certainly make my life easier:)</p><p>Keep up the good work - it is appreciated!</p><p>Chris Berger</p><p>cberger@uvm.edu</p>
